Are You Here Page #3

they're too little to eat,

and we have a strict

no return policy.

What difference does it

make what I want them for?

These are the babies

of a species.

We judge a culture on how

it treats its children, right?

They were hatched one day and

raised to be murdered the next.

We're talking about one of the most

sophisticated nervous systems in the world.

It's like us,

the dolphins,

then them.

A hundred bucks.

You know, anyone

who is going fishing today

has probably come and gone.

How about a markdown?

I don't give a sh*t.

I'm not arguing with the

spirit of Operation Crayfish.

I'm just saying

it was overfunded.

It's really beautiful.

I forgot, you know.

It's been so long.

Yeah, I haven 't been

back since my parents died.

Your parents aren't dead.

Well, you know,

since they moved.

Because we've been circling

our destination for...

three hours now,

and my feeling is

we should get dressed

and rock this funeral.

I think I'm ready.

Goddamn.

Sh*t!

I still say it's better

than ending up as bait.

They mate for life,

you know.

Not those.

Uh-oh, look.

He blew a foot.

Can you imagine if you had to shoot

your car every time you got a flat?

Those people

understand the land,

and they live by it.

I don't feel so good.

Although Sam Baker

was not a religious man,

he found comfort and joy in his

children, Teresa and Benjamin,

and his lovely wife,

Angela.

Now reading

from the Old Testament.

The Song of Solomon.

"Arise my love,

my fair one.

Look at her, the slutty,

wicked stepmother.

She wants it all

to herself.

"...the flowers

appear on the earth."

You can practically

see through that dress.

I don't think so.

"...is heard in our land."

I'm sorry.

We got

a late start.

It's okay.

It doesn't matter.

You're here.

I just wish

I could see him.

I just wish he could

see that beard.

Your coat

smells weird.

I'm just saying...

I think we sort of have to step

up into the role of adults now

and decide what's going to

happen with the estate.

I have some ideas,

some of which I actually

ran past Dad,

so I know

he wasn't opposed,

about basically dealing

with the store.

How are the ribs?

They're good.

They're small, so they're

either really cheap

or off a really,

really young pig.

Well, steak's...

Steak's pretty good.

I'll tell you

what looks good is...

what do we got here, Ben?

Some deep-fried onions

dipped in Ranch.

Bet it tastes

like springtime.

Boy, that vegetarian lifestyle

takes a lot of discipline.

And the farm.

There's just

that cruddy house,

but we're talking about

almost 150 acres of land.

I don't think we should be

talking about this right now.

Jesus, Steve,
